NRA chief: Obama 'bit off more than he could chew' The head of the National Rifle Association mocked President Obama's Rose Garden "tantrum" after losing the gun control fight in the Senate, charging Thursday that Obama suffered the worst defeat of his presidency because "he bit off more than he could chew." David Keene told Secrets that the president and his team misplayed their hand because they don't have a sense of the public's attitude toward gun control. "They just can't gauge the public reaction to what they do because they don't have any sense that the public has feelings different than they do," said Keene. "He thought and his folks thought that Newtown changed everything. Newtown was a tragedy but that doesn't change people's basic values and feelings," added the NRA president. "What he learned is that he bit off a lot more than he can chew and that you can't just talk your way to a victory. You have to have something that makes some sense and he what he was proposing just didn't make much sense." Sign Up for the Paul Bedard newsletter! The loss devastated the president, who ranted about the NRA's power during his Rose Garden address after Wednesday's vote. Keene, however, saw it differently. "It was the biggest legislative defeat he suffered but that does not justify the unseemly picture of a president of the United States throwing a public tantrum." Keene said that many lawmakers who voted against the background check expansion felt that if it passed, gun control advocates would simply return to the issue to chip away more at the Second Amendment, so they decided to "just stop it now." In a way, Keene signaled that to the sponsors of the Senate compromise, Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey and West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin. Keene recalled that he took a day off last week to fish for trout on the Missouri River in Montana. "Unfortunately, I took my cellphone with me and my cellphone rings in the midst of my float and it's Joe Manchin, who's talking about how reasonable his idea is. And finally I said, 'Look, I'm in the middle of the Missouri River, I've got a trout on the line. I don't agree, you will have to make your own decisions, and I hung up. You have to keep your priorities straight."

this is the way its worked in this country for many decades. "Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free..." Need to add "please use the front door, form a single line and no terrorists"

this is the way its worked in this country for many decades. Your R masters needed cheap workers for their factories. I am not an R (told you that dozens of times now). It is the Rs who allowed this to take place when they were in power. The Ds love it too because they can get the illegal vote. The illegals in general do not support the strategic interests of America, they simply see America as a provider to take care of them (as do you). The solution has always been a simple one and if we were still a nation of law we could fix it. 1) If you came here illegally and we catch you, we will deport you and you can never come back. 2)The consequences of getting caught hiring illegal workers are dire enough that you would be stupid to try it. The reality is, coming here illegally is much more rewarding than following the immigration laws to come here and become a citizen. The rewards of hiring illegal workers are great and the risks are practically nothing. We are rapidly becoming a nation of corruption, who passes laws we don't expect to accomplish anything as a matter of positioning for the corrupt elites in power.
